I agree with the rest but um...did you forget about how Rihanna has just as many flops as hits in the TTT/Unapologetic eras? You Da One, Talk That Talk (which really surprised me, I thought this sounded like a big hit), Right Now, What Now, Pour It Up (argueably), etc.

I guess when you put it like that. The TTT era was probably her poorest between the four albums she dropped from '09-'12, but at least with Unapologetic, she scored Diamonds, which was a smash. IMO, if you can score even just one major smash in an era, that era is a win. Adele's only hit during the 25 era was Hello, every other single flopped. Same with Taylor's reputation era. Rihanna's biggest hit during her ANTi era was her first single, too. It's not common to see an artist score multiple smashes in an album era anymore.

Saying that unapologetic did better than TTT since it had one smash in Diamonds when TTT literally has the biggest hit of her career in We Found Love?

"Unapologetic" had two Global smash-hits, 'Diamonds' and 'Stay' - both with excess pure sales of 10M.

"Talk That Talk" had two collosal Global smash-hits, 'We Found Love' and 'Where Have You Been' - the former with pure sales of 13M.

In between both eras, she had rather successful Urban hits also.

I think 'Unapologetic' was a more substantial era than 'TTT'. The latter was originally meant to be re-release of 'LOUD'.

This was the point I was trying to make in my original post: Rihanna had four consecutive years where she dropped four consecutive albums, along with a fleet of singles, that did really well. I was trying to say that Rihanna and Drake are really the only two acts who are legitimate hitmakers who have remained so over the past decade. I was trying to draw a comparison between Rihanna's run from '09-'12 and Drake's current run from 2015 till now, in the sense that they can both drop singles and projects year after year and have everything smash and be successful. Adele, Taylor and Bruno don't do that. They drop and then disappear for a few years and if they can do it, they haven't yet had a run like Rihanna and Drake have had where they've dropped singles and albums year after year and had them all be massively successful.

I absolutely agree.

All in all, I would love for Rihanna and Drake to be the top two artists of the decade.

Rihanna will definitely be the "Hot 100 Airplay" Artist of the Decade, but I would also love for her to be the overall "Hot 100" Artist of the Decade. Her and Drake are neck-in-neck in points right now but Rihanna could easily surpass him with #R9. They maky go back and forth between now and 2020 depending on who consistently releases.

Also, Drake will have the most Decade-End titles among Males and Rihanna among Females.

How excited are you for #R9? They HYPE is real.

Depending on how well IMF does and whether or not Rihanna smashes with the lead single off #R9 [and whether or not Drake decides to go on another album era run next year], the title of Hot 100 Artist of the Decade could go to either one of them. I think Drake might pull ahead just because of the way he's closed the gap that existed between the both of them in the first six months of this year and how hard IMF is smashing right now. GP, NFW and IMF are also still racking up hundreds of thousands of points for him every week that's increasing his lead over Rihanna.

I'd say the both of them deserve the title of Male and Female Artist of the Decade for sure. The hype for #R9 is real and I have no doubt that she'll come with some bops, I just hope her lead single smashes since the talk going around is that she's working on a reggae album. I think she should wait till the fall or early next year to start her new era because this year already has Drake's name written all over it and IMF may remain at #1 till September/October for all we know.

She should do like she did for her ANTi era. Release the solo single and then drop the album right after.

Lovelytheband Makes Billboard Hot 100 Debut With 'Broken'

News

By Xander Zellner | July 26, 2018 10:39 AM EDT


Plus, the band’s sophomore single 'These Are My Friends' debuts on Alternative Songs.

Los Angeles-based alt/pop trio Lovelytheband earns its first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated July 28), as "Broken" debuts at No. 84.

The song, which has already found success on Billboard's rock charts, garnered 22.1 million radio audience impressions and 2.9 million U.S. streams and sold 4,000 downloads in the tracking week, according to Nielsen Music.

"Broken" spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Alternative Songs airplay chart, beginning on April 21, and currently stands at No. 6. On the Rock Airplay chart, the single spends its eighth week at No. 1 in its 31st week on the survey. It rises 48-47 in its second week on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, aided by its growing pop crossover play, as it bullets at No. 15 on Adult Pop Songs and is bubbling under Pop Songs.

Lovelytheband, consisting of Mitchy Collins (who first made inroads as half of folk/pop duo Oh Honey), Jordan Greenwald and Sam Price, also debuts its follow-up single, "These Are My Friends," at No. 38 on Alternative Songs.

The trio additionally ranks at No. 13 on the Emerging Artists chart.

Hot 100 Chart Moves: Benny Blanco Scores First Entry as an Artist With Halsey & Khalid Collab

News

By Xander Zellner and Gary Trust | July 27, 2018 10:49 AM EDT


Blanco has co-written and co-produced Hot 100 No. 1s for Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna and more.

Veteran pop producer/songwriter Benny Blanco scores his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated July 28) as an artist, as "Eastside," with Halsey and Khalid, debuts at No. 56.

Blanco, 30, has co-written and/or co-produced some of the biggest pop hits of the past decade, including such Hot 100 No. 1s as Kesha's "TiK ToK" and "We R Who We R"; Katy Perry's "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, and "Teenage Dream"; Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera; Rihanna's "Diamonds"; and Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" (all of which he both co-wrote and co-produced).

Following the July 12 premiere of its official video, "Eastside" starts with 8.8 million U.S. streams and 12,000 downloads sold in the week ending July 19, according to Nielsen Music, with the latter total good for a No. 29 start on the Digital Song Sales chart.

"Eastside" follows Blanco's top 10 success in April, when Lil Dicky's "Freaky Friday" (featuring Chris Brown), which Blanco co-wrote and co-produced, hit No. 8 on the Hot 100. As for Halsey and Khalid, the former earns her 10th Hot 100 entry and fourth to appear on the tally this year. Khalid scores his 14th Hot 100 entry and eighth in 2018, all of which have been collaborations.

Atop the Hot 100, Drake dominates for a second frame with "In My Feelings," which reigns with a record-breaking 116.2 million streams. Plus, Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman" launches at No. 11 and alt/pop trio lovelytheband enters at No. 84 with its former Alternative Songs No. 1, "Broken."

In other Hot 100 chart moves this week:

"1942," G-Eazy feat. Yo Gotti & YBN Nahmir

The collab begins at No. 90 on the Hot 100, while entering Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No. 39. It jumps 19-14 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, up 11 percent to 11.3 million format audience impressions in the week ending July 22. The song is from the soundtrack to Uncle Drew, starring Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving, who closes the set with the track "Ridiculous," featuring LunchMoney Lewis.

"I'm a Mess," Bebe Rexha

Rexha ties for the longest reign in the Hot Country Songs chart's 58-year history, as "Meant to Be" with Florida Georgia Line rules for a 34th week. Meanwhile, Rexha's new single "I'm a Mess" enters the Hot 100 at No. 92. The song (whose official video arrived July 19) pushes 25-22 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, up 36 percent in weekly plays.

How was "Send My Love" a flop? It was top 10 on the Hot 100 and #1 at Top 40, Hot AC, and AC.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Actually, all the four songs released as singles for 25 made the 2016 or 2017 year-end Hot 100s. It can be argued that WWWY and WUTB were underperformers, but it should be noted that Adele didn't really promote them.
